Jet Toaster Browns Bread in 50 Seconds
December 24th, 2007 by iDunzo
This prototype toaster, designed for Heinz in the UK by student Oliver Newberry, is probably the best toaster the world has seen.
Instead of relying on pansy radiation, the Turbo Toaster uses a fan to take the heat right to the toast, blasting air across a heating element.
Fittingly, given the popularity of Beans on Toast with the British student, Newberry designed the Turbo Toaster to deal with the problem of the beans going cold while the toast was cooking.
While I might suggest it would be simpler to just start the toaster earlier, I admire anyone who solves a problem in such an over the top manner.
Amazingly, this might actually see production next year.

Mac Users Pay For Music, PC Owners Steal It
December 21st, 2007 by iDunzo
According to market researcher NPD, PC owners are too cheap to pay for music downloads, while Mac users have an Apple-shaped halo when it comes to piracy: 50% of them have paid to download music versus just 16% of PC users.
Side note for the fanboys, Macs are PC’s too – Personal Computer’s. Maybe I should have said Mac verses Windows? Arrrg!
The report also tries to claim that Mac owners are buying more CDs than their PC brethren, but the figures are so close – 32% against 28% – it seems statistically insignificant.
The difference between 50 and 16, though, is big.
Who knows why? Are Mac people more honest? Higher earning? Or are they just too stupid to work out BitTorrent?
